Hi! My name is Katie Sears and I’m a Brand + Web Designer based in Atlanta, GA.
02
Outside work you will often find me working...but I'm working on that.
You'll also find me:
- Reading in the park
- Cooking and drinking wine with my twin sister
- Hanging out with my grandad
- Thrifting online or in person (VIEW)
03
But on a typical workday, I like to make the part of the morning where I have my coffee and I'm just doing a little creative work last as long as possible before I check my email. Then I usually interact with humans - clients, fellow creatives, or my sister in the afternoon.
04
My day usually starts with making the bed. It helps me feel sane.
05
Most of the time I am working on brand and web design. It never stops and I don't want it to. I love what I do.
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
I distinctly remember the dial-up tone on the family computer sitting in a "den" covered in 70's orange wood paneling. And I also have fond memories of playing the Disney Channel online games at my grandparent's house.
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
Getting to be "Type A" and a creative at the same time. Websites should be predictable to some extent and use patterns to make visitors feel at ease. At the same time, within that structure, a site should be innovative and surprising enough to keep people's attention.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
I feel that napping is an integral part of the coding process.
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Minimalist. Modern. Playful.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Learning flexbox unlocked something in my brain. I use it to customize the header navigation in a lot of my sites. But learning to scope sections so I can preset different layouts for my clients is what I use nonstop.
11
What makes your work standout?
I have a photographer on staff.
I have amazing copywriters in my back pocket.
As a designer, I can clear away the clutter and create a site that feels effortless.
Everything that makes it onto my websites serves a purpose.
12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
Brilliant Escapes
A client project including brand, web, and photography for a luxury travel planner
We recommended a copywriter for the client. Then we built a brand suite, captured portrait and lifestyle photography, and then brought everything together in a stunning website. We leaned on our tried and true systems — steady meetings, email reminders, and guided client forms to keep a complex project organized.
As far as what I used from Standout Squarespace, sometimes it's hard to recall because Rache really empowers us to be intuitive developers. If pressed, I'd say scoping, responsiveness, and type style setup.
This project was supposed to be a template restyle and we purchased a template from another designer but I learned that I have a hard time with limitations and ended up basically building a site from scratch to fit my desire for an easy-to-edit site.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Rache really covers so much ground. She teaches designers to create in their own way and gives them the technical know-how to do it. Standout programs are the highest quality courses I've ever encountered.
14
What is your dream website project?
Design for an up-and-coming foodie.
I want to create a site for the next Sohla El-Waylly, Matty Matheson or Alison Roman.
I love food. My twin sis would be doing the photography, obviously, and I'd build a site that was easy to update and visually stunning.

Hi! My name is Ruth Gaunt and I’m a Squarespace Web Designer based in London, UK.
02
Outside work you will often find me hanging out with my two little boys, enjoying a vodka martini with my husband or spending time outdoors with our French Bulldog, Betty. Although I'm a bit of a home bird, I also love travelling, exploring new Cities and immersing myself in different cultures. (VIEW)
03
But on a typical workday, I am usually working with small and solo business owners, helping them create a website they are proud to direct clients to. This could be through a half or full-day website intensive, or by providing ad-hoc design support. I also work with a fitness design studio in the US so most days I will be working on either a home page design or an interior page build-out for them. (VIEW)
04
My day usually starts with coffee!
05
Most of the time I am working on a one day website launch.
“Your business wasn’t built in a day—but your website can be.
If designing a high-converting website feels like you’re trying to paint the Sistine Chapel blindfolded, you’re in the right place. You’ve put in the hours to build and grow a thriving business, not to be bogged down by font dilemmas, SEO mambo-jumbo and tech stuff, am I right? You need a website that mirrors your expertise, fits your budget, and is ready to launch, like, yesterday.
The good news? That’s just my speciality.”
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
MSN Messenger!
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
It's amazing to witness websites being brought to life. From a simple collection of text and images, they transform into a full-fledged online platform for businesses. The joy and pride that clients show when they see their new website, ready to be shared with the world and the realisation that they have transitioned from a hobby to a legitimate business is truly priceless!
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
Maribou State on repeat!

12
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Code and customisations don't have to be complicated and complex. Using the code library, and a template starting point of my most commonly used code snippets it's 100% achievable to create a custom website for clients in one day.
13
What is your dream website project?
I LOVE working with photographers and interior designers. Both these industries have amazing imagery that needs to be the focus of a website, and this works really well with my design style.

Sticky sections. It never ceases to impress!
11

12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
Hospitality ConfidentialWebsite →My proudest website is a client project in 2021. My process was similar to what is taught in Standout Squarespace starting with an Adobe XD wireframe, then building it out on Squarespace. This website was inspired by Module 4 of the Legacy Standout Squarespace course. I used nearly all the techniques and workshops from flexbox to pseudo classes. Since launch, the client has hired several employees and has reached out recently to do a website refresh as her business has outgrown the current website!
13
What is your dream website project?
My dream project would be to do a website for business that works with dogs. Doggy daycare, vet care, an adoption center — you name it!

Outside work you will often find me making snacks for my kid, thinking about what to make my kid for dinner, cleaning up my house, imagining what it would be like to read a book by myself on the beach, and then trying (and failing) to get to bed at a reasonable hour #momlife 🤪
03
But on a typical workday, I am usually feeling really grateful that I get to wear comfy clothes to my job and help clients and customers who are making the world a better place.
04
My day usually starts with an overly complex coffee making routine
05
Most of the time I am working on new templates, learning new skills, writing emails and blogs
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
The sounds of a dial up modem (yep, me and the internet go way back) and how exciting it was to hear the phrase "You've got mail."
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
I started this business with a passion for helping therapists create their ideal business and for building websites in Squarespace. There is something I find so satisfying about creating in this platform-like it fits in the grooves of my brain somehow. I love how easy it is to add custom features and the process of figuring out how to bring a visual or interactive idea to life.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
I'd love to say I take a healthful walk, but if I'm totally honest? Pacing around my house, finding something to randomly clean, or a snack to eat. Usually I'm in a flow state if I'm coding and building in Squarespace (because it's my favorite part!), so I'm not always the best at breaks.
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Modern. Minimalist. Playful.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Templates Masterclass!
Fluid Tabs
Mega Menu
Fluid Vertical Lines
Stylish Vertical Tabs
11
What makes your work standout?
I prioritize my user–therapists who are creating a website with little experience or design knowledge-and their clients. Those two groups of people drive me as a designer. I prioritize practicality and functionality. The visitors of this website may be under significant stress, so the site needs to be easy to navigate and ethical. Because I have first-hand experience being a therapist in my previous career I understand how to bring these elements together. And I also promote self-expression. I make my templates fun, playful, and "voicy" as a way to show that you can be professional and polished but you should still be you. Gone are the days when therapists are "blank slates," so your website can represent you and doesn't have to look like everyone else's.
12
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
I joined the Standout Squarespace program in October 2020 and even though I completed the program I remain in the community as an alumni because I see it as an essential for my business. It not only gave me the foundation for what I have today (smart, time-saving coding skills, design knowledge, business SOPs) but it has given my sustaining connections to other designers who have supported me and my business, as well as limitless inspiration for design and development and the skills to put it in place. What I have invested in Standout Squarespace I have earned back so many times over and I am forever grateful to have stumbled upon Rache's free CSS course back in the day! 🙏
13
What is your dream website project?
My ideal client works really hard, sees clients in historically marginalized groups, and doesn't get paid enough (because a only a minuscule number of therapists do get paid enough). While I still do 1-2 custom projects a year, my focus is on creating tools, courses, and programs that support therapists in having a website that feels aligned to their unique selves and businesses and remaining affordable and accessible.

When I was about 7 years old, My parents had this very large computer in our basement. My brother was older so of course, he was the one who got to use it and understand it more than I did. One day he asked me if I wanted to play a game called "Runescape" Since then, I have been so intrigued by a computer that I don't think I have ever gone without one.

06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
We got 3 computers at school when I was around 8 years old and we were all allowed to have a turn. I searched PUPPIES and then played with a paint program and created a drawing (design?) for my mum.
07

08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
In between coding big projects I like to get outside, get some fresh air and reset. I also like to do pilates when I can or simply just clean, tidy and reorganise my space. I think having a calming, fresh work space can help so much!
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Minimalist. Dark. Romantic.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Sticky split screen scrolling seems very popular with photographers who are my main clients. It's a great way to show off a portfolio of work without making the website look really long.
11
What makes your work standout?
I like creating more moody, cosy websites that people can feel at home when visiting.
12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
I recently designed and built a template for photographers. Being a personal project it meant I could use elements and pieces of code I'd been wanting to try but maybe hadn't had the chance yet. I incorporated a mega menu, video banners, sticky scrolling portfolio and custom blog layout. It was a great way to practice my skills and I have had many clients reference elements of this template meaning I could use these sections again for client projects.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
When starting Standout Squarespace I was worried I wasn't clever enough to be able to understand and create technically coded websites. I've since learned that even a small amount of smart and clever coding can add a huge difference and make websites standout and be special. For me it's not about making the most technical, code filled website, but creating something beautiful where the client can feel at home and be proud to share.
14
What is your dream website project?
My dream project would be either a Scottish landscape or wedding photographer website, or an architectural project. Anything with beautiful, rugged imagery.
